A decision on residential hospice planning in Huron Perth is expected to be made by the South West LHIN Board in early 2017.
In a news release, LHIN Board officials say they will rely on the advice of the Hospice Palliative Care Leadership Committee and LHIN staff.
Recommendations on the Huron Perth Residential Hospice approach, number of residential hospice beds and their locations in Huron Perth have been received for LHIN Board consideration and approval.
The Leadership Committee met Thursday and accepted the report of the Huron Perth Hospice Palliative Care Collaborative.
The committee put forward the recommendation that the South West LHIN support the establishment of a two-site residential hospice for the Huron Perth area with six beds in Stratford and four beds in the Clinton area.
